Samuel Staniforth (builder)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability concerns; none of the references seem substantial. References appear to be family genealogy or simply state that he built Darnall Hall (which may not be notable either). Previously nominated as part of the (procedurally closed) Articles for deletion/William Staniforth bulk nomination. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 17:16, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to Darnall Hall (which he built), assuming the building passes AfD. Borderline notability (there might be a case to be made) - much of the coverage is in relation to the Hall and later Staniforth progeny. Icewhiz (talk) 16:18, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't find anything more than is already in the article, and that is solely genealogical (both the references, and, largely, the content). Esquire is not an occupation, it "was a title of respect accorded to men of higher social rank". I don't think building a house (or causing one to be built) is particularly notable, in itself. I wouldn't even say merge to Darnall Hall - I don't think knowing who the builder's great-grandfather, brother-in-law or friend were is useful in an encyclopaedia entry about a house.
